Holy Orders

Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church. There are three orders of the sacrament namely: Episcopate (Bishop), Presbyterate (Priest) and Diaconate (Deacon).

Catholic Vocations are many and varied. PriesthoodPermanent Diaconate, Religious LifeSingle life and Married life are all valid Catholic Vocations. Our paths may be different, but through our Baptism, we are all called by God to journey together. God calls everyone to follow Him - there is no question about that! The question is: how is God calling ME to follow Him?

To discern your calling of God to the priesthood, please contact the Diocesan Vocations Team
